My athletes are taught professional level footwork for their respective positions, drills to increase mastery of ball handling control, and the physics of proper shooting mechanics, all within our stamina and plyometrics training framework. 

Conditioning

Engaged and intense training maximizing athletes to be at the top level throughout the year.  Range of motion, stability, flexibility and muscle testing to build athletes upright within their own body types. 

Team Drills

Drills built to develop cohesiveness and train athletes mentally to become smarter by improving team awareness, as well as individual awareness. This helps athletes ascend in execution and late game moments while team building also. 

Skill Work

Designed basketball workouts tailored to what the player(s) needs to master and build on. Next level footwork to advance any guard or wing player, skill work to develop and or advance post players to extend their game or remain inside. Quick 15 minute ball handling workouts to make sure players are completely warm and ready to work to improve handles. Shooting drills in conjunction with stamina and endurance training to develop players wind and comfort with shooting while fatigued to teach proficiency.  

Assessment and Evaluation

Recognizing and evaluating players is one of the primary aspects of our training. Specific tests and skill drills along with mentoring fundamentals are used by the HARDWORK24/7 training staff to evaluate players effectively.

Coach John has been a phenomenal coach for my 12 year old, he's given him basic tools and fundamentals that will allow him to be a better player immediately. I love that Coach John challenges the kids he coaches... he makes them work and doesn't let them get away with doing the simple and mundane things incorrectly. It's hard work but my kid loves it, mainly bc he see's immediate results and he knows he's getting better. I highly recommence coach John for anyone at any skill level, he can match you skills and find a way to make you better.

The most amazing experience I have ever met. I went to Coachup looking for a basketball teacher for my son and I not only found a great professional but I had the pleasure of meeting a great person. After seeing the satisfaction in the face of my son, I have no doubt that I am going to repeat with teacher John and undoubtedly I am going to recommend him to all my friends.

I do not want to say goodbye without saying: thank you very much for everything teacher John.

Great coach! After the first practice which was hard for my son he used what he learned and dominated in the next game he had. If you want to reach the next level I recommend coach John

Coach John is all aces in my book. Would recommend him to a friend and will return for additional sessions.

He's a phenomenal coach. The workouts were good and intense for my sons and this was the push my youngest son needed. If you wanna work hard and get to the next level. Consider John to help you get there.

Coach John was just amazing with my unfit and somewhat, ahem, lazy son. He gave him motivation, encouraged him all the while
being honest. As a result my son really wanted to live up to his expectations. And it worked! Thanks for everything Coach John.

Coach John is a very responsible trainer. His workout is intense and he pushes you hard.

Skipp is my main trainer who I have worked with throughout my collegiate career as well as now as I prepare for my NBA career. His ability to not only show but explain in detail what I needed to add to my game to push me over the hump has been essential. He is a great mentor, brother, and friend to me. - AJ English

'Brilliant mind, exceptional talent, and excellent teacher and mentor.' - Scott Machado
John 'Skipp' Hawthorne is the top professional trainer within the HARDWORK24/7, INC. brand which is designed to further build the bridge between athletes and trainers for business, organizations, as well as individual purpose.  The mantra "Thought plus Conviction equal Manifestation."  Skipp has opened the doorway that allows them to streamline mainstream athletes such as Smush Parker, Josh Selby, Kemba Walker, C.J. Watson, Scott Machado, and so many others.. Skipp also has trained a numerous amount of overseas, collegiate, high school, middle school, and young players across the nation.  The HARDWORK24/7, INC. trainer program is not only for the professionals as we have trained individuals with little to no experience as well as the occasional recreation baller adjacent to the everyday male or female that just wants to get into good shape.  Skipp started the HARDWORKBOYS brand to showcase some of the best basketball talent to the world. Not only within our training but in our day to day as well.  "I like to make the experience fun by having a good time all within the confines of an intense workout.  My taste for the minor details in my work has been compared to that of a fine wine connoisseur.   HARDWORK pays off.
